  • Which Genealogy programs run on Windows XP and connect to FamilySearch?

    From Steve Hayes@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 20 17:17:53 2021
    The moment I have deaded has arrived -- RootsMagic 8.0 has been
    released, and won't run on my Windows XP computer.

    It's only a matter of time before the people at FamilySearch change
    their API, and then I will no longer be able to connect, and that is
    where I do most of my genealogy these days.

    So does anyone know of another genealogy program that runs on Windows
    XP and connects to FamilySearch?

    You may try Ancestral Quest. I don't know whether that really runs on XP, but IMO it's the best alternative to RM, so you may give it a try.
